Wosh 1144

Wosh is elegant and charming precious and never repeating itself. This tap collection is centred on two notions: formal complexity and anti-minimal inclinations. All across the line the elements and the volumes play with light to create new and personal effects. Wosh is a truly central element in the bath environment and it highlights just how central a bathroom is to a contemporary lifestyle. I was asked to design a collection of taps (my first experience in this field) that would somehow manage to include both the anti-minimal and anti-monomaterial characteristics, that I so cherish. Once I had completed my research efforts, I initially thought of streamlined forms encrusted with rhinestones, but later my thinking shifted in the direction of bold, faceted geometric volumes which, thanks to their gem-like brilliance, would evoke a sense of luxury and opulence, far removed from the stark, stereotypical and downright boring shapes that have long dominated in this sector.
